    When my daughter was about 4, she said “if I buy daddy a Christmas present do you think he’ll get me one?” Nothing has broke me like that did! I started buying her some gifts from him and mailed them to her (at our house). It was worth the look in her eyes. She’s 24 now and has no idea. I HATED him so much but I loved her more.

    My daughter's deadbeat dad called me and told me he was going to get her the Teddy Ruxpin she so badly wanted for Christmas. I said, "Are you sure?" Because this bear was hard to get, and they were selling out of it everywhere. A week before Christmas and I had still not heard from him. I was calling and calling. Nothing. The night before Christmas Eve, he calls. "I'm so sorry!" He says. Blah, blah blah was all I heard. I hung up on him. We went out and scoured towns! Finally, after driving all of the way to Lubbock TX from Amarillo TX, we found it! Over the years, I had gotten used to putting his name on all of her birthday cards because I didn't want her to know what a rotten piece of crap he was. I gave her the bear in his name. Years later, she was looking through all of her memorabilia. She came in and said, "Mom, thank you." I said, "For what?" She said, "For making me think he was a good person all of those years." I asked her how she knew? She said, "I'd know your handwriting anywhere." ❤

    The mother and son. Woah. My dad did that to me growing up too. I went to Japan as part of a sister city organization thing, and had to interview and fund raise for it. According to him, it was all his doing that I went. Not my hard work. And he never let me forget it, either. Even though, years later, the man running the whole organization basically told me that he hated my father and only accepted my application because of my attitude. Just...wow.

Mom, well, I was never quite as good as their bio kids (even though I’m objectively better on every measure). Since she couldn’t rag on me about her labor, she’d talk about how much I cost them, including my glasses (nearsighted and asked for glasses so I could see the board at school and do my work) and braces (not vanity; had two literal rows of teeth). She even tried telling me, on my father’s literal deathbed, that he never wanted me, when he and I road-tripped and I know for a fact he wanted more kids. He used to play Santa for free for crying out loud and I was one of his favorite people in the world. Some people just have to many of their own issues to be good parents.

      It's because they're angry that they have to pay child support. In their mind they contribute already more than the mother does. They make this a principle about the money. It's silly, because it's just two occasions per year, birthday and Christmas. By not getting a gift, even a small symbolic one, the child feels rejected by Daddy.

That is objectively a LOT of money (about a third of the US median household income).

    I'm so happy Charlotte showed the clip with the guy and the mom because it's a situation that isn't talked about enough, so obviously me and my siblings love our parents because despite the narcissistic moments we had to endure they held us up when we felt down however as we grow into adulthood we learned how to deal with the ups and down and were creating our life on our own. Our parents would as much as they can hit us with the "We raised you so do this" or "I did this for you so you should.." At first, we all fell for it until we started getting into disputes that they themselves caused, and everything seemed to be our fault. I remember the moment me and my siblings and I looked at each other and just busted out laughing at how tiring and bizarre this whole thing is, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulder. Seeing other people's stories on social media taught us that parents in general made a choice to have kids wether accident or on purpose (Not talking about SA) so they're are the ones to take care of us as we arent able to now as we get older, parents have to let us go outside so that we enjoy and learn as they also got to at their age, I wish I had know this sooner but it is what it is, we put our foot down and they would bawl and whine until they realize we weren't budging and now they're given up on controlling us and would occasionally say how proud of us they are. It's bittersweet, but that's okay. My parents weren't bad people. They just felt more acclaimed to things they shouldn't, and we still love them despite how insufferable or odd they are. However, I hope that video and this comment reach to anyone who feels like giving up or is exhausted like we were and know lots of things fade with time and you will be okay❤

      Not every parent should stick around for their bio kids. I wish it was more normalized for like adoption/ showing genuine love it sucks when a parent doesn't want to connect or in a situation (a toxic relationship to the baby mama) but they also shouldn't like be dragged to be involved I guess. If they don't care, they don't care. Not everyone connects with their kids and other situations. When the baby daddy is dragged and guilted into a false interaction with the kid, it just...can create levels of confusion and hurt that isn't necessary. It sucks for sure. I'd rather be around people who want to be around me and not feel obligated to.
      I say this as an adoptee that was rejected and accepted and it taught me the importance of feeling chosen in various ways. I don't know my birth father and I don't care to. I know my birth mom and I love her in my own way.
      Dead beat dad's n ect, yea some of them are awful and can walk away from their kids easier but- why force your child to interact with someone who isn't emotionally interested. Not to mention the relationship between the mother and father can really speak volumes on why they can't work as a team or even why it's better they're not a team.

BUT THEN.... my husband and i got into a fight over something, and my father butted in using a dad voice on me. i spun around so fast and pushed my finger into his forehead and said, "dont you DARE use that voice with me... it has NO power here, you sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up, this is MY house and you are a GUEST. i lived without you for over 30 years and dont thin for ONE second that i need yo in my life. you want to be a part, you follow MY LEAD. dont you ever try to use parental authority over me buddy, as far as you are concerned, IM YOUR MOTHER IN THIS HOUSE," his wife poked her head around the hall wall and said, robert, that woman is not kidding and she 100 percent right, get your ass to your room" he slinked away and about an hour later he came and apologized and said, "one thing ill never fault your mother for, she raised a warrior. im so proud to see who you are and sad to know i had nothing to do with it" i said, "you had everything to do with it, ive spent my whole life fighting for the right to be loved without feeling guilty and thats because of you, take it how you will. but this is all you" we dont talk much anymore, after they moved away, i lost contact and i wonder alot if hes ok

Tens had just turned orange. But I wrote him infrequently, when he'd pop into my head. In a lot of ways, prison is inhumane and should be illegal the way they do it.

      Is a big chunk of his wages, because it isn't. He knows 2200 sounds big to most people, so he's letting some number do the walking to buy him sympathy.

Then everyone would automatically know that he's a miser that is so bitter he has to pay ANYTHING at all, that he's taking it out on the kid by not being a parent in any other way.

      Right! He recorded her like he didn’t look foolish. Also there’s no way I would sit and argue practically begging a fool to buy my baby a gift. They both looked foolish. You pay your child support and when he ask “did dad get me a gift” I’d just say no but mom got you plenty so it doesn’t matter. Children grow up and understand who is an adult hole parent. And the parent usually regrets it when the child has low contact with them.

    Parents who act like they deserve an award for providing for the kid THEY CHOSE TO HAVE absolutely astound me. You chose to have the kid, YOU took on the responsibility of their care and keeping until they were capable of doing it themselves, YOU are not entitled to anything in return. Kids aren't supposed to be grateful. We HOPE they are grateful for the things we provide them, the sacrifices we make to ensure they have everything they need and a lot of things they want. It shouldn't be expected. You shouldn't be keeping an invoice like your relationship with your child is transactional. Your entire job is to provide for that kid, period.

You chose to make actions that lead to these consequences. Own your shit, take responsibility, man up and be a parent. That child didn’t ask for this. And just because he doesn’t carry the child, doesn’t mean he didn’t had a choice in signing over his rights when he agreed to child support.

      This is my family TBH. Both of my families are like the 3rd ladies story. Generationally and independently wealthy, but uncaring aholes, unbothered entitled aholes. (Also, rich ppl are all on drvgs or drvnks I promise you).
      So I went to stay with my aunt at 16 when my parents went on "vacation" to their home in France and I wasn't invited lol. Later found out later my mom went to stay there to have my twin brothers in France so they'd be dual citizens like me. I didn't know my mom was pregnant, I didn't see her for 5 months till they let me come. My parents were also in the midst if a divorce. It was messy.
      My aunt kept telling me, a 16 yr old, how much she hated her children, and their father. That they were such a burden. I once woke up to my 6 MONTH OLD COUSIN* crying alone in her rocker in her nursery. Idk how long she'd been there, but I had to care for her and feed her. My aunt had fired another nanny for "being nosy." I went down from the 4th floor, I was so mad, a baby could have gotten hurt alone up there if she wiggled out of the rocker!! Only after searching the house did I find my 5 yr old cousin alone watching TV. I asked where her mom was and she said rolling her eyes that her mom was in the garage, she knew exactly what my aunt was doing at 5! I tried to open the garage, baby in my hands and it was locked. I unlocked it and my aunt was smoking weed in her car with some guy. I was MORTIFIED.
      My aunt got mad at me for disturbing them. Admittedly my aunt is the most immature one of all the siblings. Shes almost 50 and still throws herself onto the floor having tantrums when she doesnt get her way. She has no job and leeches of my grandmother.
      My aunt does nothing all day but get high and remodel her house. My mom and uncle have careers but are also terrible parents.
      My mom dumped my twin brothers off onto me when they were about 8 months old to focus on her work again, thats like the 1 thing she cares most about. And I mean literally I raised them. My dad was an abusive alcoholic att and is still never around going on fancy fishing trips, etc. His parents fund his lifestyle and dont say anything since he almost died as a kid, they baby TF out of him still at 58.
      My brothers honestly barely know my parents and are 21 yrs old now. 1 of them has HF autism and I put in a lot lf work to raise them the way I NEVER was. They both consider me their mom and my autistic brother has attachment disorder. Thankfully my husband is amazing and supportive. Weve known each other since Kindergarten and his mother is my mom friend but we both hated the lifestyle. The grass isnt greener on the other side trust me.

(She could hand sew but I could hem her pants in 10 minutes) I got her the pretty sewing machine with 60 different stitches and she was greatful but said "Baby you shouldn't spend so much on me. You just got me the laptop and you got your own bills." So I had to downplay the sewing machine, like it's not even the one I have. Much cheaper and I got it on sale. Then she finally took it and was so happy setting it up. She very much has the attitude that it's nice to receive gifts from her kid but I don't owe her anything more quality mother daughter time.

    LOL! This mother and son debate over who owes who what and why is just priceless. I am 61 and my son is 28 and I don't expect him to buy me anything. He has a life, job, home and a great girlfriend he needs to focus on and not me. I have always told him how much I love him and feel that he needs to focus on his life and not worry about me. Having and raising him was a gift enough for me. That is the greatest gift a parent receives.

    That child support Christmas situation made me sad. My mom and dad split when I was 2 months old. My father never had to be taken to court to figure out fair child support with my mom, he gave it willingly and consistently and we had our own whole holidays with my dad and stepmother, complete with presents on Christmas and Easter baskets, Halloween parties, Thanksgiving or leftovers if we weren't there that day. My parents really did the coparenting thing and my stepmother, RIP Deb, was the one to make that happen most cohesively.

    When my son was younger, I just bought extra presents and said they were from his mom. No reason to let little kids think a parent doesnt care. But now that he's older, I still just buy extra and he sees what's going on with out me having to say anything or bad mouth anyone.
    He just hugs me and says I love you so much daddy.

      I remember one Christmas about 35 years ago, my deadbeat dad FINALLY sent my mom a "check for Christmas gifts" for my younger sister and me. When my mom opened it he had written on the back of the $40 check in capital letters "CHILD SUPPORT". My mom did not even bother to change it and gave it to support enforcement who finally had the info they needed to go after him for child support. It's kinda funny that's what he wrote on the check and that check was the reason they garnished his wages to send to my mom. I LOVE karma!! 😂

    If dude is expecting her to buy gifts with the child support money I would take him back to court to get an increase and use this video that he made as a reference to why it needs to increased. At the same time my brothers dad did something similar when he was growing up. My mom didnt defend nor trash him, just kind of let my brother make his own conclusions and now that he’s grown they don’t have a relationship. It sucks but sometimes letting ur kids see who their other parent really is can be the best thing for them.

    Regarding that last clip: The mom is not only trying to help save the dad's reputation, but also help her kid grow up with a healthy sense of self-esteem. A child who grows up feeling like a parent doesn't think about them or care about them is going to have psychological issues as they get older. Kids especially will internalize these kinds of feelings, which will manifest into resentment and even self-loathing, making their lives more difficult and uncertain (Speaking from experience).

      This poor mother 😢 I understand how badly she wants to protect her son and make him feel loved, but there's no hope for it. Her son will know that his dad doesn't care at all no matter how hard she works to shield him from the truth. Kids are far more intuitive than adults realise. Kids know when they're genuinely loved and appreciated. They can feel it. I'm sure this little boy will appreciate his mother even more as he grows, knowing how hard she tried to give him everything he deserved. He's better off with just his mother and all of her love and care than having such a waster for a dad.

      Making your kid's father look better than what he is will backfire on you later. As I had done this my daughter thought her dad had morals. Now don't get me wrong the man did make sure the money was there off the ideas I told him to do to make money. He is one of the best salesmen I have ever seen. With that said with my brain we did good. After we broke up she blamed my husband for why we didn't get back together. Not the two sisters in between her and her sister. We were together for 20 yrs. I found out about the two girls 21 to 22 yrs later. I knew that one maybe out there but when I did ask him he non-stop said no. At that point it was only a business relationship for me and I feel that the siblings should know each other. Which would have been good for her 3 daughter because she passed away young. I told him see if you didn't lie they would know they could have come to me instead of running around like lost girls getting with the wrong men. They believe he did more for my kids. The truth is I did more and demanded more. If I knew about them they would have got great gifts from him that I purchased. He did have 3 kids. Well 4 when was not biologically his but he did claim her as his daughter. They were taken from that mom. He did fight for years for them. The oldest got one visit from him that I went to so they figured I was his mom. One because he claimed me and the fact he looked like my daughters. So I went every weekend to see him on Saturday and Sunday. The third time he asked was his dad. I lied and said he could not make it. He looked at me and smiled. At this time I had been there 6 times or the third weekend there and at this point he knew I was lying to not have him sad. Unfortunately he remembers me saying I would do anything to give you joy in life. At some point his real mom came and unfortunately he beat her up there and how they found out I was the stepmom. So at first I couldn't come without the dad. But the only way they could control him was knowing he could have that visit with me so they let me come back. He apologize for getting so mad that he beat the mom up. I told him don't worry about it I same thing when you all were taken. She could have told the police to call me to come get all of you including your two sisters because I had the room, but she was so selfish she didn't. So I can't be mad at you. At that point he said thank you for trying to make me feel bad about my dad and thank you for keeping coming.

He really doesn’t give a shit… poor kid. But maybe she should stop trying tho because there’s no way she can keep covering for him so it’s actually better if the kid learns the truth and starts making peace with it… idk, though situation.

    Child support is the MINIMUM amount of parental responsibility that one owes to their child. Birthday gifts and Christmas gifts are separate from the basic day to day cost of raising a child. She just explained to him that childcare alone was $2,000! If my ex didn’t want to buy our kid a gift, fine. I’d be honest about it. “Dad didn’t buy a gift for you, I’m sorry sweetie.” Dad would have to answer for it when the child grows up.
